What is the Global Hunger Index (GHI)?

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool used to measure and track hunger at the global, regional, and national levels. It takes into account various factors such as undernourishment, child wasting, child stunting, and child mortality to provide a comprehensive assessment of hunger and malnutrition. The GHI is calculated annually and helps policymakers and organizations identify areas of high hunger prevalence and prioritize interventions to address food insecurity and improve nutrition outcomes.
